    Low-level from scratch: C and the C library. Gnu-make, gcc, gperf
and flex for building, but I'll remove flex.

    It's a /special/ web server, not a general purpose one, there are
enough already and it would be far beyond my skills and time.

    It is intended to share a single directory over the LAN only, with
only one client at a time. No javascript, no cookie, no runtime
dependency, no priviledge, and no configuration! It features out of the
box massive upload and delete capabilities, besides normal visit and
download. HTTP/1.1, HTML5, SVG/1.1, CSS2+.

   The goal is to upload photos and videos from my smartphone;
therefore the upload capability should suffice; but I prefer to make it
full-fledged. It may serve also to exchange files with PCs running
Windows or Mac.
